THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT ~ Daniel Seavey

Three

December 7th 2019

Vanessas POV

I slam my car door as I get out of my car. I nearly slip on ice on the ground causing me to hold onto my door handle for dear life. I huff in frustration as I grab my bag and carefully step over the piece of ice. I walk inside work as I mentally want to cry.

"Hey girl!" Caroline yelled the second I walked in.

She had a huge grin on her face. I gave her a fake smile as I set my stuff down in the back room of the bakery.

"Your Romeo left you a note." Caroline says playfully.

"My what?" I ask her because I was very confused and not on the mood.

"Just read the sticky note." She told me as she shoved a sticky note into my hand.

Hey Vanessa, glad I actually know your name now, it's a pretty name... anyways I came by to buy some cookies and you weren't here... I just wanted to say hi and I hope to see you again

A smile falls on my face as I envisioned the blonde haired boy walking in here looking for me. I put on my apron and keep the smile on my face as I think about Daniel.

Later that Day

"I can't believe I missed seeing him." I tell Caroline as I put my bag into my car.

"Don't worry... you guys are practically meant for each other. You will meet again." Caroline says playfully.

I shake my head as I lean on the side of my car.

"Let's go ice skating tonight... to take your mind off of ... Daniel." Caroline says playfully.

"Okay... yeah... let's go." I say as I agree with her.

We both get into our cars and head to the ice skating place. It was an outdoor skating rink and me and Caroline had gone there many times before. There was always a huge crowd of people who would go there.

"We've been skating since we were little and yet you still manage to fall." Caroline says in disbelief as we put on our skates.

"Well today is the day I am not going to fall." I say proudly as we both laugh.

"You said that last time." She replies playfully.

We both step into the ice and I immediately almost fall causing me to grab her arm.

"Oh my gosh!" Caroline yells as we both laugh.

I get used to skating as we skate around the rink as we talk about Christmas.

"Are you going to go to the Christmas party with me and Jake on Christmas night?" Caroline asks me.

"Uh... I don't know... I'll have to think about it." I reply softly.

Before I have time to react I feel someone's body slam into mine causing me to start to fall onto the ice. I hear Caroline gasp as my face nearly meets the ice but I feel two hands grab my waist catching me before I fall.
